Tuesdays With James and Mary

Unfiltered political spouses James Carville and Mary Matalin hop on the phone to explain what today’s generation of always-online politicos doesn’t understand about campaigns, and what Kamala Harris has to do to maintain her momentum going into November.

On Tuesday, I caught up with James Carville and Mary Matalin on the phone as they were racing to the tiny Montrose Regional Airport in Colorado—one of the only ways to get in and out of Telluride by air. The pair were leaving the Telluride Film Festival, where Carville was hyping a buzzy new film about, well, himself. Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid, is filmmaker Matt Tyrnauer’s new documentary about the life and times of the Ragin’ Cajun, the rights to which were just acquired by CNN.
